Seedlings, also called Lucky Seeds is some dialects, are ambulatory plant creatures made up of tough tendrils and skin-like leaves. The tendrils wind around themselves to form a humanoid shape. It is not known why seedling grow in the shapes that they do, when any tendril shape should be possible. Some assume a more female shape while others a more male shape, but technically both are hermaphrodites and biologically the same.

Seedlings are actually just one phase of a larger life cycle. During the seedling stage they are ejected from a much larger, rooted version of the species and carried by winds to different places. When they touch down they begin to grow into the shape of a humanoid baby, and imprint on sentient humanoids who start to care for it. This stage lasts until the child grows to near adulthood, when the wandering stage begins. During this phase a seedling experiences a powerful instinctive wanderlust, and will gather experiences and memories to sustain them during the next phase of their life cycle, where they take root. A rooting seedling will choose a spot of ground and silently settle there, becoming permanently separated from their friends and adopted families. The seedlings call this period 'turning within', and experience it as a sort of transition to old age. Once a seedling turns within it seldom speaks anymore, but seedlings it ejects later emerge with second-hand racial memories from their parent.

Wandering seedlings have no society of their own, and tend to adopt the conventions of whatever place they land. They are often adopted by childless couples or taken in as lucky omens, and raised as a member of society despite their difference in appearance. Seedling blood is a thick, sappy milk, and they have few 'vital' organs as such, making them extremely hardy. They are photosynthetic, and subsist on sunlight, water, and occasional nutrient supplements. Generally those supplements are soil or even compost based, but seedlings are omnivores and can digest meat when desperate.
